Minister of State for Presidential Affairs, G. Wesseh Blamoh has rallied citizens of Grand Cape Mount County in support of President George Weah’s second term bid.
Speaking in Gola Konneh District on Friday, June 16, 2023, Minister Wesseh urged the people of the county to give President Weah another six years mandate in order to continue on the path of development and progress for Liberia.
He urged, “Balance the Equation as you did during the past regime in order to see a completion of development across the 15 counties and forward match of Liberia.”
Minister Blamoh named the free tuition policy initiated by President Weah for all public-run tertiary institutions of learning, and the payment of WASSCE fees for all 12th graders among others as sufficient reasons for the re-election of the current Liberian leader.
According to him, the re-election victory writings for Mr. Weah are already visible on the walls, especially with the impact and immense transformation his boss has made across Liberia, adding, “In October, I will not be there, your parents will not be there but George Weah will be there as such, I encourage you to make the wise decision in your interest.”
The former Grand Kru County Representative also acknowledged the pivotal role the first-time voters of the country will have to play in the upcoming political process and was quick to call on them to see the political process as significant to their future growth.
Speaking on the concern of lack of clinics within the area, Minister Blamoh assured that he heard their concerns and will come back, adding that it was unfortunate to have a populated area like the gold camp with the lack of key facility.
The residents of Gold Camp in Gola Konneh District, Grand Cape Mount County danced, sang, and chanted political slogans assuring a one-round victory for President Weah.
They described it as ‘Fake and false news’circulating that the people of Grand Cape Mount are not for President Weah, stressing that they are resolved and remain unbinding in their quest to ensure the re-elect of George Weah to the core.
Gold Camp is a mining area located in Gola Konneh District Grand Cape Mount County.
Meanwhile, residents there have repeatedly complained of the lack of basic social services as well as empowerment for them.
They named the lack of health care facilities, women and youth empowerment, unemployment, and inadequate teachers as pressing issues they want to be addressed especially when they are host to millions of dollars investment by Turkish Bea Mountain Mining Company.
